The earliest traces of [[wikipedia:Homo|human life]] in what is now any part of Aurora began in what today consists of areas in Staynes and Caltharus approximately 1.7 million years ago. Over the ensuing millennia, Humans were confronted by a harsh and variable climates. Early hominids led a [[wikipedia:Nomad|nomadic]] [[wikipedia:hunter-gatherer|hunter-gatherer]] life. Caltharus has a large number of decorated caves from the [[wikipedia:Upper Palaeolithic|upper Palaeolithic era]]. At the end of the last glacial period (10,000 BC), the climate became milder; from approximately 8,000 BC, this part of North Aurora entered the [[wikipedia:Neolithic|Neolithic]] era and its inhabitants became [[wikipedia:Sedentism|sedentary]].
Settlement by anatomically modern humans of what was to become the United Kingdom began around 100,000 years ago. During this period, the [[Strathepolic Ridge]] connected the continents of [[Aurora]] to [[Yasteria]] across the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]]. In the next 50,000 years, the earliest known Auroran culture had developed and is thought to belonged, in the main, to a culture termed Strathepolic. ▼
After strong demographic and agricultural development between the 5th and 4th millennia, metallurgy appeared at the end of the 4th millennium, initially working gold, copper and [[wikipedia:Bronze|bronze]], and later iron. Morstaybishlia has numerous [[wikipedia:megalith|megalithic]] sites from the Neolithic period.
▲Settlement by anatomically modern humans of what was to become
Around 50,000 years ago, the ridge submerged as sea levels rose. The Strathepolic peoples, which had been settled along the ridge for thousands of years were forcibly isolated from one another, starting the early population of Aurora and the earliest known division of the two continents.
